What they do
Easebuzz is a full-stack payments solutions provider for small and medium businesses
What happened
It reported Rs 716 Cr revenue and Rs 11 Cr profit for FY26, with profit falling 42% from FY25
Why it matters
The profit decline was largely due to a ban on real-money gaming apps and rising expenses
The details
- Easebuzz reported Rs 716 Cr revenue from operations for FY26, up 9.1% from Rs 656 Cr in FY25.
- Its profit fell 42.1% to Rs 11 Cr from Rs 19 Cr in the previous year.
- EBITDA dropped to Rs 14 Cr from Rs 28 Cr, and EBITDA margin shrank to 1.96% from 4.27%.
- Return on capital employed (ROCE) fell sharply to 3.52% from 18.25% in FY25.
- Total expenses rose 11.7% to Rs 708 Cr, driven by higher employee, IT, and advertising costs.
- Transaction fees made up 97.35% of operating revenue at Rs 697 Cr.
- The company spent Rs 0.99 to earn every rupee of operating revenue, up from Rs 0.97.
- Cash and bank balances fell 26.1% to Rs 105 Cr as of March 2026.
The bigger picture
- The profit decline was largely due to a ban on real-money gaming apps at the start of FY26, which slowed transaction volumes.

- Advertising and promotional expenses jumped 350% to Rs 9 Cr, adding to cost pressure.
